How do you preflight the infant life vests?

• A. Verify correct quantity & pouch sealed
• B. Verify correct quantity; pouch not sealed
• C. Verify quantity not required
• D. Verify color only

Answer: (A)

When preflighting infant life vests, you confirm both the correct number of vests are present and that each vest is in a sealed pouch. This ensures there’s a vest for every infant on board and that the packaging remains intact, indicating the item hasn’t been used or compromised. The sealed pouch protects the vest and confirms it’s in its original, serviceable condition. Merely checking color wouldn’t guarantee there is a vest for every infant or that the packaging hasn’t been opened, and ignoring the pouch status or quantity would miss two critical safety checks.
